Good Dog Scheme

WHAT SHOULD DOG OWNERS DO?

Responsible dog owners do not allow their dogs to foul public places. Ideally, dogs should be trained from an early age to ‘go at home’ in their own garden before or after a walk, rather than during. If dog fouling does occur away from home, the responsible dog owner will clean up after the dog. Any suitable bag can be used, or special poop-scoop bags can be purchased from pet shops, veterinary surgeries or stores. Dispose of faeces in a special red doggie bin or take the bag home. If this is not possible, as a last resort double-wrap the faeces and dispose of in a litter bin.

HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM?

Estimates put the British dog population at around 6.8 million, producing 900 tonnes of excrement per day.

A Tidy Britain Group survey found that 95% of people questioned were concerned about dog mess in public places, an indication that problems caused by dog fouling are all too common.

IS DOG FOULING AN OFFENCE?

A local authority can designate land upon which it is an offence not to clean up after your dog. Byelaws can also be made by local authorities to impose dog bans, make dog fouling an offence and insist that dogs be kept on leads.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT A DOG FOULING OFFENCE?

If you wish to take action against a dog owner who has not cleaned up after their dog, you should note what happened as soon as possible. Include the name and address of the person in charge of the dog, a description of the dog plus details of the date, time and place of the offence.

Contact Sheffield Environmental Services – Animal Warden on 2037415 and ask for details of their dog control procedures. Clearly describe the place being fouled to find what regulations cover that area.
